Will this work in the Garage? null

It’s worked great for us in the garage. No issues

Question: those of you who have in garage.....are you in MN or somewhere cold? wondering if MN is viable???

No, it's not recommended for this freezer to be put in a garage

The name of this product is literally, "Insignia™ - 7.0 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Chest Freezer - White" That "Garage Ready Chest Freezer" tells you this is a garage ready freezer.

We have our 7.5 cu in garage and have not had any issues. We had another unit in our garage for over 2 yrs, but it was an older unit and it just died like most freezers, as these newer freezers do not last like they used to.

it says garage ready, up to 110 degrees

Instruction manual states: “• Garage ready in ambient temperatures of 0° to 110° F (-17.8° to 43.3° C).” You can download it from this product page.

Had this unit for 3-4 years in the garage no problem until this last winter when temperatures got below 20 degrees. The light still showed power was on but the compressor wouldn't kick on. Had no problems before the few cold nights and no luck getting it to come back on thereafter. Found this information on Quora "In very cold temperatures the compressor lubricating oil becomes too viscous and the compressor can’t start because of excess friction. This causes the compressor overcurrent protector to trip. If the freezer is left ON in a cold place, it will keep trying to start over and over again. It that happens enough times, the overcurrent protector will wear out and permanently stop the compressor. If you hear an occasional humming sound, followed by a click, about once every 5 minutes, then the freezer has a good chance of working again if it is moved to a warmer place."

Consumer Reports recommends this as their #1 choice and states it is garage ready. (They tested models who said they were and were not.)

Yes, as indicated by "Garage Ready" in the title and the operating range of 0 to 110 degrees F in the specifications. Our attached garage in West Michigan doesn't get colder than 20 degrees in the winter, nor hotter than 90 degrees in the summer. If you have some more extreme environment, then compare your actual conditions to the specifications before deciding.
